Strategies to Improve the Health of Older Adults Living with HIV

Disclaimer: Per a court order, HHS is required to restore this website as of 11:59 PM February 14, 2025. Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it causes to children, by promoting their chemical and surgical mutilation, and to women, by depriving them of their dignity, safety, well-being, and opportunities. This page does not reflect biological reality and therefore the Administration and this Department rejects it.
 

Exploration of the unique challenges that older adults living with HIV may face and five steps for health care providers and AIDS service providers to consider in addressing these challenges, including:

  1. Training staff to provider affirming and culturally competent care for older adults living with HIV.
  2. Screening for comorbidities, including mental health issues.
  3. Addressing substance use, including tobacco use.
  4. Promoting sexual health and HIV/STI prevention with older adults.
  5. Strengthening social support networks.
